The dead are not numbers: political management of death during the pandemic
No full textThe text analyzes the management of death by the pandemic in the Bolsonaro's administration. Such a political decision is understood in a context of violence present since the origins of the conquest and colonization of Brazil: the genocide of Indigenous and African people enslaved in the Americas. The killing of the poor by COVID-19 clearly exposed the essence of neoliberal capitalism. The pandemic is the perfect setting for Bolsonarism to put its necropolitics into practice. It is also possible to identify a killer state as a new stage in the neoliberal management models. The destruction of basic state structures causes the genocide of the most vulnerable groups among its own people. This genocide is illustrated by the drama of the women from Yanomami Sanöma infected by the virus, and the disappearance of the bodies of their dead babies, also infected. The Yanomami people do not bury their dead ones. The bodies are cremated after a funerary ritual that can last for months. There are four requests for Bolsonaro's investigation into crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court. This essay concludes with Pope Francis' call for global solidarity as a way out of the crisis.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Pandemia: presente y futuro del trabajo
Get PDFAmérica Latina y Caribe es una región marcada por la brutalidad de las desigualdades y la intensa explotación de los trabajadores. Lo que ya estaba en movimiento antes de la pandemia, ahora ganó más velocidad y radicalidad. El sistema económico aprovecha la crisis sanitaria para imponer regulaciones que reducen aún más las condiciones de trabajo decente. La pandemia, por un lado, mostró la importancia del trabajo, por otro lado, mostró distorsiones estructurales. La primera parte del texto pone relieve los siguientes aspectos del mundo laboral: las muertes por covid-19 se concentran en los trabajadores precarios de la periferia y los ancianos sostenedores del hogar; la constitución de una nueva división del trabajo; la aceleración de la transición a las empresas-plataforma de la tecnología digital de la Industria 4.0; nuevos experimentos laborales: el trabajo uberizado. La segunda parte del texto presenta las categorías éticas de la Doctrina Social de la Iglesia para construir “otro mundo del trabajo”: la primacía de la dignidad humana sobre las cosas; la superioridad del trabajo sobre el ‘capital’; el trabajo como derecho y los derechos del trabajo; la opción política por la solidaridad inspiradoras de las iniciativas populares
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
CAPITALISMO, REGIME DE EXCEÇÃO E CRIMES DE LESA HUMANIDADE: perspectiva teológica
Get PDFThe article has an ethical-theological focus. It aims to discuss two crimes against humanity committed by capitalism in the historical context of conquest and colonization in America and Africa: human trafficking and slave labor. It then examines the Catholic Church\u27s direct involvement in these crimes. The second section, with a theological focus, explains how the Memory of Salvation performed by Christ generates two attitudes: apology to victims; recognition of the misrepresentation of the Gospel for economic purposes. To use the name of Christ to justify crimes against humanity is to blaspheme. This purification of memory leads to a commitment to justice and the defense of Human Rights as a sign of the times. The conclusion shows that Christianity is always subversive against exceptional regimes. The memory of victims of crimes against humanity enhances the hope of achieving full justice. The memory of victims is the ethical paradigm of transitional justice.O artigo é de caráter ético-teológico. Tem como objetivo discorrer sobre dois crimes de lesa humanidade cometidos pelo capitalismo no contexto histórico da conquista e da colonização na América e na África: tráfico de seres humanos e a escravização dos trabalhadores. Em seguida, examina o envolvimento direto da Igreja Católica nestes crimes. A segunda seção, de enfoque teológico, explicita como a Memória da Salvação realizada por Cristo gera duas atitudes: pedido de perdão às vítimas, reconhecimento da deturpação do Evangelho para fins econômicos. Usar o nome de Cristo para justificar crimes contra a humanidade é blasfemar. Essa purificação da memória leva ao compromisso com a justiça e com a defesa dos Direitos Humanos como sinal dos tempos. Na conclusão evidencia-se que o cristianismo é sempre subversivo frente a regimes de exceção. A memória das vítimas dos crimes de lesa humanidade potencializa a esperança de realização da justiça em plenitude. É o paradigma ético da justiça de transição
